Technology of the future now – the new aesthetic

ENVELON façades bring beauty and functionality to buildings that are not only appealing beautiful to forward-thinking architects, but also building owners. The beauty and functionality of ENVELON’s energy façades unleashes innovation in sustainable building design and opens a new chapter for architects looking to bringing active sustainability to modern building design. The entire façade area can be used to generate energy, giving the building a special character in two respects.


A pallet of colors

The color technology is an ultra-thin internal coating that selectively a specific part of the color spectrum, combining vibrant colors with solar generated electricity. The wide range of colors gives architects and building owners creative freedom to express and their buildings a modern, sustainable aesthetic in their own designs. How does ENVELON achieve this? The coating technology doesn’t use colors in the true sense of the word. ENVELON`s color technology uses an ultra-thin internal coating that selectively a specific part of the color spectrum, combining vibrant colors with solar generated electricity.

Captivating play of colors through the day

ENVELON’s solar-active façades are the new sustainability aesthetic – unlocking the potential to creatively play with colors and create an inspired look.  Depending on the time of day and the sun’s light intensity the physical properties of the material create a real eye-catcher – as a result of the interference effect between the incident light and the panel, the color saturation varies according to the position of the sun over the course of the day.

Buildings with as solar façades shimmer with vibrant color through the day, bringing building façades alive with color.

Seamless building envelopes thanks to invisible mounting system

Architects and developers go to great lengths to aesthetically pleasing buildings and with unique character. ENVELON’s active façades don’t get in the way thanks to a frameless design and hidden mounting hardware. The result is pure beauty with all the benefits of a conventional glass façade made materials with the added bonus of solar electricity production.
